Preparing Alabama Students for Success

Students in Alabama Public Schools are getting additional help to succeed in life through the implementation of a statewide pilot program called PASS (Preparing Alabama Students for Success).  Funding is provided by the Alabama Legislature in an attempt to improve the education level of our work force throughout the state.  Bibb County School system is pleased to be the recipient of such funds to develop a local initiative to help improve graduation rates in Bibb County.
The P.A.S.S. Initiative is built around the four cornerstones of academics, attendance, discipline and safety.  Funding will allow local schools to develop, sustain and/or facilitate a comprehensive prevention and intervention program for students who are “at risk” of failure. 
This initiative is intended to:

• To help ensure students apply their best academic effort and cooperative behavior
• To prepare students for educational opportunities beyond the secondary level
• To prepare students for today’s world of work as well as projected future needs
• To promote greater safety and security in our schools
• To promote greater parental, family and community support and involvement

Please join our school system in making this program a success.  If you have a child or grandchild in school, ensure that they attend and study daily.  If you belong to a local business or civic organization, seek out ways to partner with our school system by adopting a school or volunteering time and resources.  The students in our schools today will be the work force and leaders of our state tomorrow.  An investment in our students is an investment in our future.

The Bibb County Board of Education will make available to parents, for a fee of $10 per child, a component of student records called STI Home.  This program will allow you to access critical information about your child via the internet.  You will be able to view grades, class schedules, attendance records, discipline reports, activity announcements, and notes from teachers.   Although it is not required at this time that teachers put in homework assignments, if they do, you will also be able to view homework assignments. 

We are in the process of acquiring this capability at the present time.  When the program is installed and implemented, you will receive a PIN number and will be given instructions on how to access your child’s information.  The $10 fee per student will allow parents to access information for the 2007-2008 school year.  The PIN will need to be renewed annually,

We are excited to be offering this new program and we hope that it will provide better communication between you and the schools.  Please direct any questions you may have regarding the program to stihome@bibbed.org.
